After just 5 months (maybe less) the dream of our friends of "La Dispensa" has come to an end.
This is how it looked today:
We've had the chance to have lunch there when it was still hot and sunny, as well as spend the new year's eve with our friends.
They, we can thank the Banking sector that - far from helping new entrepreneur - ask for documents, signatures and then deny the credit.
A few years ago, when I started a big wellness center, I tried to explain them how in the following 10, 20 years the wellness business will become more and more important (due to aging of the population, and the need for "prevention" of cardio-vascular illnesses).
Their response was: "I muri sono vostri?" ("do you own the building").
We are happy (via "Tremonti Bond" in Italy, and the public debt in general) to finance the salaries of such clever and smart people (of course not all of them are so, but for sure those that worked with us with the gyms, and probably those that "helped" our Dispensa friends were).
